WHO IS Visiting & WHAT IS Going On at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

[DuranDuran]

by Andy Greene • July 8, 2020 • Rolling Stone

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has canceled plans for a live induction ceremony this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and will instead honor the class of 2020 with an HBO special on Saturday, November 7th.

The honorees this year are Depeche Mode, the Doobie Brothers, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, the Notorious B.I.G., T-Rex and Ahmet Ertegun Award honorees Jon Landau and Irving Azoff.

“To protect the health and safety of our Inductees, their families, crews and our attendees, we’ve made the decision that the scheduled live event is not possible,” John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, says in a statement. “Together with HBO and executive producer Joel Gallen, we will still create an exciting program honoring our 2020 inductees, by telling the stories of their incredible contributions to music and impact on a generation of artists that followed them.”

The ceremony was originally supposed to take place at Cleveland’s Public Hall on May 2nd. It was moved to November 7th because of the pandemic, but as time went on it became clear that holding a mass gathering at that point, even without an audience, would be an extremely difficult task. Anyone with a ticket to the show will get a complete refund.

This is the first time in the history of the Hall of Fame that artists will be inducted without a public ceremony, but virtual events have become the norm over the past few months. Surprisingly, the MTV Video Music Awards are proceeding with a live event at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on August 30th, although New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it will take place with “limited or no audience.”

The nominations for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2021 are in and the list features Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Mary J. Blige, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, the Go-Go’s, Rage Against the Machine, Kate Bush, Devo, Chaka Khan, Carole King, Fela Kuti, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Todd Rundgren, and Dionne Warwick. The top vote-getters will be announced in May and inducted in a Cleveland, Ohio, ceremony in the fall.

To be eligible for this year’s ballot, each nominee’s first single or album had to have been released in 1995 or earlier. Seven of the 16 acts on the ballot (Foo Fighters, the Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, Jay-Z, Tina Turner, Fela Kuti, and Dionne Warwick) are appearing for the first time, although Carole King was inducted along with Gerry Goffin as a non-performer in 1990 and Tina Tuner entered the institution in 1991 along with Ike Turner.

If King and Turner are inducted, they’ll be the second and third female artists to enter the Hall of Fame twice following Stevie Nicks in 2019. It’s also an opportunity for Dave Grohl to enter the Hall of Fame for a second time following his 2014 induction as a member of Nirvana. Foo Fighters and Jay-Z are the only acts this year to appear on the ballot in their first year of eligibility.

This is the sixth ballot appearance for LL Cool J; a third for Todd Rundgren, Rage Against the Machine, and Chaka Khan; and the second for Kate Bush, Devo, Carole King, and the New York Dolls.

According to the Hall of Fame, this is the most racially diverse ballot since 1996, as nine of the 16 nominees feature people of color.

“This remarkable ballot reflects the diversity and depth of the artists and music the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates,” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Chairman John Sykes says in a statement. “These nominees have left an indelible impact on the sonic landscape of the world and influenced countless artists that have followed them.”

Per the tradition of the past few years, the Hall of Fame named the individual band members that will enter should their group get inducted. For Iron Maiden, they cited the current lineup of singer Bruce Dickinson, bassist Steve Harris, drummer Nicko McBrain, and guitarists Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, and Janick Gers, along with former singer Paul Di’Anno, former drummer Clive Burr, and former guitarist Dennis Stratton.

For the Foo Fighters, it’s the current lineup of Dave Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, bassist Nate Mendel, keyboardist Rami Jaffee, and guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett. Original drummer William Goldsmith and former guitarist Franz Stahl did not make the cut.

If Devo get in, it’ll just be the classic Seventies/early Eighties lineup of Mark Mothersbaugh, bassist/singer Gerald Casale, drummer Alan Myers, keyboardist/guitarist Bob Casale, and guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh.

For the New York Dolls, it’s frontman David Johansen, bassist Arthur “Killer” Kane, guitarists Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain, and drummers Jerry Nolan and Billy Murcia. Johansen is the sole living New York Doll after the recent death of Sylvain Sylvain.

A voter pool of more than 1,000 artists, historians, journalists, and members of the music industry will select the new class. Starting Wednesday, fans will also have a chance to take part in the process by voting at rockhall.com or at an interactive kiosk at the museum in Cleveland. Their selections will count as a single “fan ballot” that gets tabulated along with the others.

The 2020 Hall of Fame class honored Depeche Mode, Whitney Houston, Nine Inch Nails, Notorious B.I.G., T-Rex, and the Doobie Brothers. The ceremony was originally slated to take place at Cleveland’s Public Hall in May but was pushed to November due to the pandemic. They were ultimately forced to hold a virtual ceremony that aired on HBO.

2022 Nominees
by Andy Greene | February 2, 2022 | Rolling Stone

The nominations for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022 are in, and the list features Eminem, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, Beck, Pat Benatar, Carly Simon, A Tribe Called Quest, Kate Bush, Devo, Judas Priest, Eurythmics, Fela Kuti, MC5, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine, and Dionne Warwick. The top vote-getters will be announced in May and inducted in the fall.

“This year’s ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture,” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation Chairman John Sykes said in a statement. “Their music not only moved generations, but also influenced the sound of countless artists that followed.”

To be eligible for this year’s ballot, each nominee’s first single or album had to have been released in 1996 or earlier. Seven of the nominees (Beck, Eminem, Duran Duran, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon, and A Tribe Called Quest) are on the ballot for the first time, but Eminem is the only one to appear in his first year of eligibility. His debut LP Infinite was released in 1996.

This is the sixth nomination for MC5, the fourth nomination for Rage Against the Machine, the third for Kate Bush, Devo, Eurythmics, Judas Priest, and the New York Dolls, and the second nomination for Pat Benatar, Fela Kuti, and Dionne Warwick.

Once again. the Hall of Fame has named the individual band members that will enter should their group get inducted. For Duran Duran, they selected the classic lineup of vocalist Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, guitarist Andy Taylor, bassist John Taylor, and drummer Roger Taylor along with “Ordinary World”-era guitarist Warren Cuccurullo. “Just to make it onto the nominations list is an honor that I never expected to experience,” Le Bon said. “This distinction is due in large part to the fact that we have an army of fans around the world who have unwaveringly supported us for the past four decades.”

For Judas Priest, they picked drummer Les Binks, guitarist K. K. Downing, vocalist Rob Halford, bassist Ian Hill, drummer Dave Holland, guitarist Glenn Tipton, and drummer Scott Travis.

The New York Dolls members selected were singer David Johansen, bassist Arthur “Killer” Kane, drummer Billy Murcia, drummer Jerry Nolan, bassist Sylvain Sylvain, and guitarist Johnny Thunders.

Rage Against The Machine didn’t require the Hall of Fame to make many judgement calls. From day one, they have been bassist Tim Commerford, singer Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk. For a Tribe Called Quest, they went with Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Phife Dawg, Q-Tip, and Jarobi White.

The Devo members named by the Hall were guitarist Bob Casale, bassist/vocalist Gerald Casale, singer Mark Mothersbaugh, guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh, and drummer Alan Myers.

The MC5 lineup of bassist Michael Davis, guitarist/singer Wayne Kramer, guitarist/singer Fred “Sonic” Smith, drummer Dennis Thompson, and singer Rob Tyner were picked. And Pat Benatar was named along with her husband and longtime guitarist Neil Giraldo.

The Hall of Fame induction ceremony is often the place where estranged bandmates reunite for the evening. There aren’t many possibilities of that this time around, though it is possible that Duran Duran could play with former guitarists Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. It’s also an opportunity for Judas Priest to perform with former guitarist K.K. Downing and Seventies drummer Les Binks, and a chance for Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox to play again as Eurythmics.

A voter pool of more than 1,000 artists, historians, journalists, and members of the music industry will select the new class. Starting today, fans will also have a chance to take part in the process by voting at rockhall.com or at an interactive kiosk at the museum in Cleveland. Their selections will count as a single “fan ballot” that gets tabulated along with the others.

In recent years, the Hall of Fame has brought in several acts not on the ballot by giving them The Award for Musical Excellence, The Ahmet Ertegun Award, or the Musical Excellence Award. These picks are made solely by the Nominating Committee, and will be announced in May along with the rest of the class of 2022.

The 2021 class was inducted into the Hall of Fame October 30th, 2021 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. They have not yet said where the 2022 ceremony will take place.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to Induct Dolly Parton, Eminem, Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, Lionel Richie and More
by Chris Willman | May 4, 2022 | Variety

Well, Dolly Parton didn’t get her wish, although she’s likely to be happy anyway. The country superstar will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November — a possibility she said last week she’d come to terms with and would “graciously” accept, after initially trying to get herself nixed — along with Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics and Carly Simon.

Those are the seven performers that the Hall’s thousand-plus voters chose. There are eight more getting in besides who were not included in the competition but were selected by the board for inclusion in other categories. These include the band Judas Priest, which was on the ballot this year but didn’t make the cut with voters; the Hall’s keepers decided the metal group was essential to include nonetheless. Also selected for enshrinement were producer-musicians Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, singers Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotten, and executives Sylvia Robinson, Jimmy Iovine and Allen Grubman.

The 37th annual induction ceremony has also been given a city and a date. After the event took place in Cleveland last year, for 2022 it will move back to the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, on Nov. 5.

Who didn’t make it, among the 17 nominees? With seven getting in via the vote (versus just six that were elected last year) and Judas Priest coming in the side door, the nine who will have to wait till at least next year for another shot are Beck, Devo, Dionne Warwick, A Tribe Called Quest, the MC5, Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine, the New York Dolls and Fela Kuti.

The Hall pointed out that this is the first year that six women will be inducted, between Benatar, Parton, Simon and Eurythmics’ Annie Lennox from the main ballot, plus Cotton and Robinson in additional categories.

The list of inductees, and the four categories in which they appear:

Performer Category
•Pat Benatar
•Duran Duran
•Eminem
•Eurythmics
•Dolly Parton
•Lionel Richie
•Carly Simon

Musical Excellence Award
•Judas Priest
•Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis

Early Influence Award
•Harry Belafonte
•Elizabeth Cotten

Ahmet Ertegun Award
•Allen Grubman
•Jimmy Iovine
•Sylvia Robinson

Of the seven artists who were voted in in the performer category, five were appearing on the ballot for the first time: Parton, Richie, Simon, Duran Duran and Eminem. Four of those five had been eligible for years (the requirement is having released a major record 25 years ago or more). Only Eminem got in during his first year of eligibility. For Eurythmics and Benatar, it was the second time on the ballot for both; Benatar had her first shot as a nominee two years ago, and Lennox and Dave Stewart were previously up for it in 2018.

“This diverse group of inductees each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock ‘n roll,” John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, said in a statement. “Their music moved generations and influenced so many artists that followed.”

Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Nominees for 2023
by Chris Willman | February 1, 2023 | Variety

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s eclectic slate of 14 nominees for the class of 2023 runs the gamut from Kate Bush, who’s been nominated three times before but stands an especially good chance of getting in now, to Willie Nelson, who could follow fellow country icon Dolly Parton in, to Missy Eillott and the White Stripes, both of whom are late-’90s icons being put up for the honor in their first year of eligibility.

The full lineup of artists selected by the Hall’s nominating committee as 2023 contenders:

Kate Bush
Sheryl Crow
Missy Elliott
Iron Maiden
Joy Division/New Order
Cyndi Lauper
George Michael
Willie Nelson
Rage Against The Machine
Soundgarden
The Spinners
A Tribe Called Quest
The White Stripes
Warren Zevon

A slight majority of the 14 nominees — eight in all — are on a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot for the first time: Missy Elliott, Warren Zevon, Willie Nelson, the White Stripes, Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael and Joy Division/New Order.

That means, of course, that the remaining six are returning after being nominated but not voted in before. Kate Bush didn’t make the final cut when previously nominated in 2018, 2021 and 2022, but would seem to have the wind at her back now, with her oldie “Running Up That Hill” having oddly become one of the biggest hits of the past year, due to a “Stranger Things” sync.

Rage Against the Machine is another act that appeared on the ballot last year that is up again for a fourth time; the band was also nominated in 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Soul group the Spinners was up three prior times, as well, but for them, it’s been seven years since their last nomination. The ensemble’s previous nods came in 2012, 2015 and 2016.

Soundgarden, Iron Maiden and A Tribe Called Quest are all on the ballot for a second time this year after having been nominated once in the recent past — in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Crossing the mark for 25 years having transpired since their first commercial recordings, Elliott became eligible as her “Supa Dupa Fly” album (released in July 1997) celebrated a quarter-century last year. The White Stripes did not release a full album until 1999, but are apparently eligible due to their debut single, “Let’s Shake Hands,” having come out in March 1998.

Elliott and the Stripes beat out a lot of other artists that are believed to also have become eligible for the first time this year, including Coldplay, Lauryn Hill, Destiny’s Child, Queens of the Stone Age, Britney Spears, P. Diddy, Mos Def, Muse and Death Cab for Cutie.

At times, the Rock Hall has appeared ready to move on from ’70s rock acts, as the nominating committee has from ’50s and ’60s possibilities, but several acts who got a start or rose to fame in that decade made it into this crop. One is the Spinners, the R&B vocal group whose ’70s hits include “Could It Be I’m Falling in Lofe,” “Working My Way Back to You,” “I’ll Be Around” and “The Rubberband Man.”

Another is Warren Zevon, who has long been cited as one of the top egregious omissions not to have even gotten a nomination prior to now. Although he didn’t have many major chart hits beyond “Werewolves of London,” his edgy, distinctive brand of storytelling has been an influence on untold thousands of singer-songwriters.

Willie Nelson, soon to turn 90, has been eligible since the very first Rock Hall class in 1983. The nominating committee hasn’t always seemed sure whether to embrace iconic country artists or not, the way it has genres like soul, R&B, pop and disco; some have noted that country music has its own hall of fame, as if that should exclude the genre’s artists from double-dipping. But with Parton having been voted in in 2022 (after initially questioning her inclusion), the logjam may have broken, for the consideration of Nelson now and perhaps fellow legends like Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn in the future.

The Joy Division/New Order nomination marks one of a handful of times a seminal band and its spinoff group have been combined into one entry. That will seem a reasonable choice to many, with New Order consisting of mostly the same lineup as Joy Division except for the absence of Ian Curtis, whose death by suicide in 1980 prompted the survivors to forge ahead under different branding. It’s previously happened with the Rascals/Young Rascals and Faces/Small Faces going in as single entries, although in those cases the spinoff bands being inducted simultaneously had names derived from the original act.

Crow could prove a popular choice, both by virtue of being a pioneering female rocker — even with her recording career not kicking off until the early ’90s, things were still so dire prior to that that she counts as a pioneer — and because of her strongly collaborative nature over the years. However many musicians may be among the 1,000-plus voting members, probably a substantial number of them have either recorded duets with Crow or shared a stage with her in the last 30 years.

George Michael may be the most polarizing nominee among that segment of the public that believes pure pop artists should not be inducted into a hall with rock in the name, but that hasn’t kept the musicians and industry pros for electing pop artists as winners in recent years, as with the induction for Lionel Richie this past fall.

If Elliott makes it into this class, she will join a very select group of hip-hop artists in the Hall of Fame that includes an inductee from this past year, Eminem, plus Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, N.W.A., Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

While several artists named were also nominated last year, there are a number of 2022 nominees that are getting a rest from being on the ballot this year: Devo, Dionne Warwick, Beck, the New York Dolls, Fela Kuti and the MC5.

The Hall of Fame noted that the actual nominees coming out of this slate will be announced in May. It has not been revealed what city the ceremony will be held in this year, between the usual shuffling between Cleveland and New York with an occasional detour to Los Angeles, although it’s expected the show will keep its usual October spot on the calendar for a live taping that will be carried later on HBO. The inductees in special categories like influences, chosen directly by the nominating committee without going through the larger votership, will also be announced at a later date.

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Reveals Class Of 2023
by Joe Lynch | May 3, 2023 | Billboard

On Wednesday morning (May 3), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame revealed the inductees for the Rock Hall’s Class of 2023.

The performer category boasts a stacked lineup of inductees gaining entrance: Kate Bush, the art rock cult fave whose idiosyncratic and undersung impact was propelled into the mainstream by an inescapable Stranger Things sync in 2022; Sheryl Crow, the rootsy yet polished hitmaker who draws on rock, folk, country and pop; Missy Elliott, the forward-thinking hip-hop mastermind behind a string of mind-bending classic albums; George Michael, the blue-eyed soul pop king who died in 2016; Willie Nelson, an outlaw country exemplar turned beloved elder statesman; Rage Against The Machine, a politically motivated rap-rock firebrand force; and The Spinners, a long-running vocal group who achieved their greatest success as a smooth soul outfit in the ‘70s.

That’s not all. The “musical influence award” sees DJ Kool Herc – the Bronx-based DJ whose breakbeat-focused turntable techniques are widely cited as the clearest starting point of hip-hop music – enters the Rock Hall; presumably, it’s not a coincidence his induction aligns with the year the music industry is celebrating as the 50th anniversary of hip-hop as a genre. The same category sees the induction of Link Wray, the distortion guitar rock rebel credited with inventing the power chord.

The “musical excellence award” invites three additional acts: Frequent Rock Hall nominee and funk queen Chaka Khan finally sees induction this year, as does Al Kooper, an invaluable player and/or producer on key recordings from Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blood, Sweat & Tears. In the same category, Bernie Taupin – Elton John’s longtime lyricist whose poetic and imaginative take on American folklore set a new standard for rock songwriting – is also inducted.

Finally, Don Cornelius – who hosted the R&B and Black culture bedrock Soul Train on TV from 1970-1993 – is inducted with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.

The Rock Hall’s Class of 2023 sees four of the seven performer inductees gaining entrance on their first nomination: Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael and Willie Nelson; of those four, Elliott was the only artist eligible for the first time in 2023.

To be eligible for the Rock Hall, an artist’s first commercial release must have come out at least 25 years prior to the nomination year. [Though Elliott’s first album was released in 1997, the nominating committee at the Rock Hall recently started meeting the same year the inductees are honored, as opposed to the year before. This means 2023 is a sort of “make-up year” for artists whose first release was in 1997 or 1998, which explains 2023 being Elliott’s first year of eligibility.]

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Nov. 3. Ticket information will be announced in the future.
